Rebels with a CauseNarrated by Oscar-winning actress Frances McDormand, this program spotlights a group of dedicated conservationists who fought to preserve open space, protect agriculture and wildlife, and establish public parks near San Francisco. Beginning in the 1950s, ordinary citizens from all walks of life, concerned by the intentions of residential land developers and the environmental cost of "progress," began banding together to save a vast stretch of Northern California coastline. Their passionate activism at both the local and federal level helped create Point Reyes National Seashore and the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. These precedent-setting efforts also raised Californians' awareness of their power to promote change, fostered a national movement to preserve open spaces, and shaped the environmental movement of today.duration 56:46

Joint Border Patrols: Decreasing Criminal ActivityIreland: Dark Past - A horrific report shook Ireland this summer. It was suggested babies that had died in a home for unwed mothers were buried in mass graves around the site. The home was in operation up until the 1960's. Such homes were run by the Catholic church on behalf of the Irish government. Tens of thousands of unmarried mothers gave birth in them. Many of them tell of medical experiments on infants, neglect and forced adoption. Their infant mortality rate was much higher than the national average. Now the state and church are investigating what actually happened in what were called mother and baby homes. Crimea: Changing Sides - After the annexation of the Ukrainian peninsula by Russia, people there are trying to return to everyday life. But the road to normality is long, and political stances in Kiev and Moscow have solidified. While politicians argue about topics such as possession of Crimea, how to feed the people on the peninsula and what will happen to tourism, the football club hitherto known as FC Sevastopol has its own worries. The team used to play in the Ukrainian Premier League. Now under another name and with a changed squad, they've been incorporated into the third division of the Russian league. But the Ukrainian football federation is opposed to the move - as are the international associations FIFA and UEFA. Poland/Germany: Joint Border Patrols - The border between Germany and Poland is nearly 500 kilometres long. Now Poland is part of the Schengen area, there are no more checks on the border crossings. For criminals that's a great advantage; for the police, a big problem. Since the opening of the German-Polish border in 2007, cross-border criminal activity has increased. Car thieves in particular take advantage of the freedom to travel eastwards. That's why since 2007 German and Polish police have been on patrol together on both sides of the border. But until now, according to law, the police from the respective neighboring country had to give up pursuing criminals shortly before they reached border. Now a new agreement on cross-border police cooperation, ensures police the same rights on both sides of the border. That should make pursuing suspects more effective. Spain: Catalonian Dream - It's long been clear that Catalonia would like to secede from Spain. A referendum on independence is planned for 9 November. The government in Madrid, however, has declared the referendum illegal. Thirty-two years on Public Television!duration 26:10

Texas Servant Girl MurdersIn 1885, six African-American servants and two white society women were killed in Austin, Texas - almost all bludgeoned with an ax, dragged from their beds and raped. As quickly as the killings started, they stopped. No killer was ever identified. Desperate to find someone to blame, the authorities first rounded up hundreds of black men. Later, they pointed the finger at a white man, James Philips, whom they accused of murdering his teenage bride. Although Philips was eventually acquitted, the trial was akin to the OJ Simpson trial, with sensational, lurid details spilling out in court. After the furor and panic died down, so did the memory of the killings. Can the History Detectives solve these murders? They pore over the records and apply cutting-edge police techniques to determine who killed the servant girls of Austin.duration 55:46

Who Killed Jimmy Hoffa?In one of history's most fascinating unsolved mysteries, former Teamsters president Jimmy Hoffa went missing on July 30, 1975, never to be found. Hoffa, a hero to many working Americans, played a major role in the growth and development of the trucking union. But he fell afoul of the law, with allegations that the powerful pension fund was under mob control and used, among other things, to finance Vegas casinos. What exactly happened to Hoffa that day, and why? Recently declassified FBI files and interviews with people close to the story allow a detailed accounting of what likely occurred. The investigation is an exploration of Hoffa's final days and hours and a revelatory window on power and corruption in the post-war era labor movement.duration 56:46

CEASEFIRE- Israel and Hamas agreed today to an open-ended ceasefire, ending weeks of rocket fire and airstrikes. Gwen Ifill analyzes the agreement with Dennis Ross, a former US diplomat who is now a counselor at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, and Shibley Telhami, the Anwar Sadat Professor for Peace and Development at the University of Maryland and a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. TAX FLIGHT - In recent years a number of US companies have relocated outside the country's borders by merging with or purchasing foreign companies. Burger King is the latest example. Today the company announced it will purchase Tim Hortons, a Canadian restaurant chain, and move its headquarters to Ontario, where the corporate tax rate is lower. Jeffrey Brown discusses this decision with economist Roberton Williams, a senior fellow at the non-partisan Tax Policy Center, a joint venture of the Urban Institute and the Brookings Institution. RETHINKING COLLEGE - As part of a week-long series dedicated to "rethinking college," Hari Sreenivasan reports on the growing burden of student debt. QUEST FOR UNITY - The Obama administration has stated that it will only offer more military support to Iraq in its battle against the Islamic State militant group once the nation has formed a more inclusive government. Chief foreign affairs correspondent Margaret Warner reports from Northern Iraq on why national unity is a tall order for this fractured country to fill. BORDER CRISIS - As part of an ongoing series of conversations with those impacted by the immigration crisis, Jeffrey Brown speaks with Gary Thrasher, a rancher and veterinarian who lives in Arizona, near the Mexican border, and treats cattle from Arizona to New Mexico to West Texas- along a major corridor for illegal immigrants and drug smugglers.duration 56:46
